About this role
Zuora's Milo team is building AI-driven solutions to solve one of their core challenges: streamlining complex customer onboarding workflows. As a Senior Software Engineer, you'd design and develop the distributed systems and intelligent agents that power this platform, working across backend APIs, data pipelines, and agentic architectures to help enterprises move faster through quote-to-cash processes. The role sits at the intersection of infrastructure and AI—you'd be contributing to both the foundational systems and the emerging agent-based capabilities that define Zuora's next generation.
This position requires 6 to 10 years of hands-on product development, preferably in SaaS or B2B environments, with demonstrated expertise in backend or full-stack engineering and a solid grasp of low-level design principles. You'll need real experience or deep understanding of building AI agents and integrating them into complex business workflows. The tech stack spans Python, Java, Langchain, Postgres, Spring, Kafka, Kubernetes, and AWS—a modern, distributed systems foundation.
The role is hybrid, based in Foster City, California, with an expectation of three days onsite per week. It's listed as volunteer employment, which is unusual and worth clarifying directly with the hiring team before applying. Compensation ranges from $164,800 to $226,600 annually, plus variable bonus, equity, and a comprehensive benefits package including flexible time off, parental leave, and learning stipends.
